    Reel life villain Sonu Sood is a real-life hero for many people and has been helping the stranded migrant workers in transportation so that they can reach back home safely. Sonu Sood has shown us that he has a golden heart by helping thousands of people in reaching home and he has become a hero for the underprivileged who are badly hit by the pandemic.

    Once again, Sonu has promised to provide shelter to a homeless woman who is living on the streets with her young kids.
    This came to Sonu Sood’s notice when a Twitter user appealed to him for helping this woman. He wrote in Hindi, “ the woman and her two kids are forced to live on the footpath after her husband died and the landlord forced her out. They have not eaten in days and have no place to go. Hence, they are sleeping on the footpath.”
    Checkout out the tweet here-
    @SonuSood सर यह महिला के पति की मौत हो गई बाहर के पटना में रह रही थी मकान मालिक ने निकाल दिया है एक महीने से सड़कों के किनारे पड़ी 2 छोटे बच्चे भूख से बिलख रहे है मदद करे आप।सरकार से इन्हें उम्मीद नही कोइ।।9113110823 @vishallamba20 @NeetiGoel2 pic.twitter.com/6TQta3TJNa

    Sonu Sood replied quickly saying that he will extend his support. He promised that he will get them shelter within twenty-four hours. He wrote, “Tomorrow, this family will have a roof over their heads. These small kids will have their home.”
    Here is the tweet-
    कल इस परिवार के सिर पर छत होगी। इन छोटे बच्चों के लिए एक घर ज़रूर होगा ❣️ https://t.co/QA2m5sPJwm

    — Shubham Gupta️ (@Shubham01894652) July 19, 2020Recently, Sonu Sood also helped a migrant worker and he names his shop after his name. He names his shop as Sonu Sood Welding Work Shop and has also put a picture of him to express his gratefulness.
    View this post on InstagramThis endorsement looks like, it's closest to @Sonu_Sood's heart as a migrant who was rescued & airlifted by him from Cochin to Orissa has started his own welding shop called as 'Sonu Sood Welding Work Shop'. There is no better way showing love to the messiah of migrants & we truly love seeing heartwarming moments like these.A post shared by (@manav.manglani)
    We hope that people learn from him and come forward to help others in this crucial time and he keeps the good work going.

    In Bollywood, directors usually use the old and methodized casting of auditioning the actors for a particular role. But in some cases, they go out of their way, relying on prosthetics, hairstyles and outfits, to turn around the actor's real age. These actors then, with their stellar performance go on to win the hearts of millions, by playing roles that aren't remotely close to their real age. Take a look at these actors, who were light years younger than the age of their characters in the movie.
    1. Manoj Bajpayee In Aligarh © Excel Entertainment
    Manoj Bajpayee shook the world with his nuanced performance in Aligarh. The actor dared to take up the role of a professor in this film and break the stereotype around homosexuality.  At the time of this movie, Bajpayee was 46 years old and essayed the role of a 64-year-old professor and nailed it.

    2. Aishwarya Rai In Sarbjit © Twitter/Aishwarya Rai Online
    Aishwarya Rai has time and again proved her acting prowess in Bollywood. Her character in the movie Sarbjit as a bereaved sister, who is 60 years old was irreproachable. With one of her best works, she manifested the role of an old lady and proved that age cannot define anything.

    3. Rishi Kapoor In Kapoor & Sons © Dharma Productions
    Rishi Kapoor's role as the most loveable Dadaji in Kapoor & Sons will always be remembered. The family drama movie garnered a lot of success and the admirable man who was 63 years old at the time of this movie, actually played the role of a 90-year-old grandfather and hit the right nerve.

    4. Ranbir Kapoor In Sanju © Vinod Chopra Films
    Ranbir Kapoor's transformation in Sanju did not go unnoticed and this movie became a massive success at the box office as well. Besides his phenomenal performance in the movie, it is also worth mentioning that the actor played the role of 58-year-old Sanjay Dutt while he was only 35 years old at the time.

    5. Kaman Hassan In Hindustani © Medium
    If there's one actor who is a movie maestro, when it comes to doing any sort of role, it is Kamal Hassan. The actor who aced the caricature of a 'chachi' in a movie like Chachi 420, also transformed himself and played the role of a 70-year-old man in Hindustani. This movie was one of his finest performances of all times and it was quite realistic, we have to say.

    6. Anupam Kher in Saaransh © Rajshri Productions
    Veteran actor, Anupam Kher, who is known for his brilliant acting, made his debut with Saaransh when he was in his 20s. In this movie, he played the role of a stubborn aged father, who is lamenting the loss of his son. Imagine, this movie was his debut and he essayed the role of an old man and convinced the audience with his intense acting skills in the movie.

    7. Amitabh Bachchan In Paa © MAD Entertainment
    Amitabh Bachchan essayed the role of a 12-year-old progeria patient in Paa and there's no denying the fact that he hit it out of the park, despite being 66 years old at the time. The actor also said in one of the interviews that the makeup artists had to stick several layers of clay to achieve the right look for the movie. While a lot of credit goes to them for his appearance, Amitabh still nailed the role of a preadolescent boy and the movie also received a lot of acclaims for the storyline.

    The opening partnership between Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag is considered to be one of the best and most successful duos to open the batting order for any international cricket team.
    Having shared the pitch in 93 One-Day Internationals, the two went on to form a 3,919 run-partnership over the years and with an impressive average of 42.13. In the process, the two also share 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries and have the fourth-best record in all over international cricket.
    © Reuters
    But because of the extremely shy and reserved nature of Sehwag, the idea to go ahead with this partnership might not have worked in the first place.

    Thankfully, Sachin had already been in this spot before and he knew what he had to do for Sehwag to start opening up and feel like a part of the partnership they were destined to make.

    In a conversation with Vikram Sathaye on What The Duck, Tendulkar said: 
    “When Viru (Virender Sehwag) had just joined, he was a shy guy. He just wouldn’t talk to me. I thought this can’t work. If we need to play together, bat together, I need to make him feel comfortable. So, I told him 'let’s catch up on dinner'. Where he told me he was a vegetarian.”
    © Reuters
    “He was not eating chicken because he was told he will become fat. Only thing I told him was if I looked fat! Ever since, he has been eating chicken,” he added.

    The relationship between Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar continues to remain as great as it once was on the field.
    © Reuters
    For Tendulkar, Sehwag is just Viru, the man who can only be kept from talking only if he is given something to eat. While for Sehwag, Sachin is nothing short of his god.

    They laugh, make fun of each other and share hilarious stories from their time in the middle of the ground but the sense of mutual admiration and respect that they have for each other comes from years of getting to know each other and become family.
    And that’s what they are, family.

    OnePlus has already created a lot of hype for its launch event tomorrow where the company is expected to showcase a new phone called OnePlus Nord. Along with the new phone, we're also expecting to see OnePlus' first pair of truly wireless earbuds, the OnePlus Buds.
    In case you missed it, we already got a glimpse of the OnePlus Buds a few days back when OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei had an interaction with YouTube creator Marques Brownlee. 
    You can check out the OnePlus Buds below -
    © YouTube/ Marques Brownlee
    But besides that, the folks over at 9to5Google have now showcased us some leaked renders. These renders give us our best look at the OnePlus Buds. So, the first thing to note is that the OnePlus Buds will be available in three colourways - While, Black, and Teal.

    Carl Pei is seen wearing the Teal variant in the video, but we'll have to see how it looks in person. As for the design, we can see a rounded case here that looks more or less similar to the Pixel Buds. The case seems to have a matte finish, although that could just be the rendered image.
    We also see an LED indicator for the battery on the front along with a physical button for pairing and switching button. The earbuds, well, they just look like any other TWS earbuds on the market. There's nothing unusually different here, so there's nothing much to talk about.
    © 9to5Google
    We are expecting OnePlus to launch these tomorrow alongside the OnePlus Nord. We'll have more to talk about its features once it becomes official tomorrow. OnePlus has officially confirmed that the earphones will weigh 4.6 grams each whereas the charging case weighs 36 grams.

    The company also noted that we can expect around 30 hours of life in total, so that's interesting. Let's just wait for more info about these tomorrow.

    There's a feud going on currently post Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise. Kangana Ranaut has now expressed her displeasure and raised her voice against nepotism, talking about the movie mafias of the film industry.

    © Twitter/TeamKanganaRanaut
    The actress recently was on a talk show with Arnab Goswami, where she didn't shy away from speaking the truth and highlighted the names of several moviemakers, who are out there, 'destroying the career of many newcomers and are tormenting them emotionally and mentally'. Kangana has been at loggerheads with filmmaker Karan Johar, ever since she came on his show, Koffee With Karan in 2017, where the whole fume of Nepotism started to spur. 

    © Twitter/Kangana_FC
    After the recent interview with Goswami, Kangana's statement on Karan asking her to leave the industry, made the netizens dig up the clip, where the filmmaker told Kangana to stop playing the victim card. All this happened at a summit, which was downright humiliating.

    This the clip Kangana is talking about, Karan telling her to leave and people applauding. He attacked her on an international summit #KanganaSpeaksToArnab pic.twitter.com/ODl0jTHaxe
    — Navi (@NaviKRStan) July 18, 2020
    In this interview, Karan Johar was asked about his opinion on the statement made by Kangana on his show at the LSE Indian Forum in 2017, to which he replied “I am done with Kangana playing the woman card and the victim card. You can’t be this victim who has a sad story at every given point of time, to tell how you have been terrorised by the bad world of the industry. Leave it." He also added "Who is forcing you on a gunpoint to be in the movies, leave, do something else,”
    And obviously, after hearing such bitter words for the actress, it became a talking point for the netizens and they are leaving no opportunity in slamming Karan for his insulting remark. 
    Here's what everyone is saying:
    Look how he is smiling with an attitude after insulting their own industry talents.
    This is the first& foremost wish of karan to fill the entire industry with only starkids and that only starkids get all appreciation,fame& recognition not only in this industry but also worldwide.
    — Trishna Sharma (@Trishna82233652) July 18, 2020 WOW, I dont understand why are people applauding?! He is bashing a woman on interantional stage? Why do we tolerate him? #OnlyCBIForSSR
    — Isha Kaur (@IshaKaurssr2) July 18, 2020 Indian youth is so much brain washed & degraded that..a Chaka is their hero while a girl fighting for her place in film industry is laughed at.
    — bansi lal kaul (@Bansikaul) July 18, 2020 Went too far! Shameless hijda @karanjohar what's your talent? Running father's money to suit agenda? Apologise to @KanganaTeam , return Padma award, You don't deserve it
    — Only NamasteOnly Veggie (@Anu18Radha) July 18, 2020 @karanjohar She didn't come into the industry with your help or to appease you. She came to pursue acting which she likes. Who are you to ask her to leave?

    And students of @LSE who applauded to this, what a great achievement to make it to LSE without a spine.
    — Grrrrrrr! (@CherryColaZing) July 18, 2020 She has the guts to take on bollywood and this is the label given to her.. Victim card? She is standing up for herself + the many others who do not have a voice. She is also talking on behalf of the future upcoming talent that will be shut down if they don't play by their rules
    — Billy the Kid (@Baaaaadgoat) July 19, 2020 Run by their chamchas...I must confess I was blindfolded by their stunts and fake PR against @KanganaTeam but now I respect her more than ever
    — Reneesie (@Reneesie1) July 18, 2020In the interview, the actress remembered the time when Karan debased her with such a statement and there was hooting and people even clapped for it. She also mentioned that the industry choked everything for her, including marriage and financial security. She further asked, "Don't you think the thought of suicide would cross my mind?"
    Not just that, Kangana has also raised questions against other filmmakers including Mahesh Bhatt and Aditya Chopra, accusing them of vandalizing the career of the newcomers.
    What do you think about this recent war of words? Let us know.

While Aishwarya and Aradhya are home quarantined, Abhishek is admitted with Amitabh in the same hospital.

    The furore over existence of nepotism and favouritism in the acting industry, including both television and Bollywood, is something which is refusing to die down any time soon. Especially after Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden and shocking demise, the debate around nepotism and favouritism being rampant in the Hindi film and music industry gained momentum.
    Recently some of the popular television actors unabashedly opened up about the existence of favouritism in the television industry too. Here’s what they all said:
    1. Kamya PunjabiHello Husband, just wanted to say I Love You ️ @iamshalabhdang pic.twitter.com/18jno5bvxg
    — Kamya Shalabh Dang (@iamkamyapunjabi) July 8, 2020 Popular television actor Kamya Punjabi in a recent media interview opened up about the prevalent favouritism in the television industry. She said that it’s practised quite openly, and many people have to suffer because of the preferential system. “It hasn’t happened with me, but I agree 100%, and I know about it. At a lot of places, it’s called being a channel’s favourite. This one person will be there, even if he or she gives problems, shoots only for eight hours, isn’t able to perform. Even if the entire unit has to suffer, or other actors are made to wait,” the 40-year-old actor said.
    She also added, “If you want to become big, you’ve to be the channel’s favourite, and in films, the producers’ favourite. These things have taken other people into depression. They suddenly feel worthless that ‘We’ve to wait for 10 hours, and We don’t even get much money because we aren’t the favourite’. They’re the ones who agree to compromise and take pay cuts also.”
    2. Karanvir BohraMy sunshine in any kind of weather @TwinBabyDiaries pic.twitter.com/gFLR82Pf6X
    — Karanvir Bohra (@KVBohra) July 6, 2020 Karanvir Bohra is one of the few actors who has unhesitatingly admitted that favouritism exists in the industry but he was quick enough to point out that he’s never been that person. He said in an interview, “Thankfully, production houses believed in me as an actor, and my characters did well. You’ve to set your own standards also. I’ve been around for a long time, and channels favourites have come and gone. I saw it happen in 2006. Yes, we all feel it’s not fair, and bullsh*t. But you don’t sit and cry about it, nothing comes easy, you’ve to work hard and smart.”
    3. Saumya TandonMood today. Alone, waiting, hoping, praying pic.twitter.com/247JjLSdJi
    — Saumya Tandon (@saumyatandon) July 12, 2020
    Being part of the glam industry since 2006, Saumya Tandon recently said in an interview that groupism and favouritism exist everywhere, including TV. But she was quick to point out that it’s not so pronounced as it’s in Bollywood. “That’s because the stakes aren’t that high. I still feel I’m not a TV insider because I hardly get into the politics of — I hardly party, never attend award functions unless I’m hosting. I feel the best feedback comes from the people and it should translate into better work opportunities, everything else is useless,” she said.
    4. Debina BonnerjeeKinda started enjoying this workout at home.
    Will this become the new normal even for the future?? Will the GYM become “once upon a time we used to go”... ?
    Opinion?? pic.twitter.com/FpugXTJsiY
    — debina bon choudhary (@imdebina) June 12, 2020 Debina Bonnerjee is well-known for her hit shows like Ramayan and Chidiya Ghar. She is of the opinion that people need to take chances with actors, and not be limited in their choices. “Sometimes, you give a very good audition, but certain channels won’t like it and you don’t know why. People have to take that chance. I never worked with proper GEC channels until last year, and they loved it, so did the audience. You’ve to give somebody a chance and then decide whether that person is capable or not,” Debina said 
    5. Sharad Malhotra © Sharad/IANS
    Actor Sharad Malhotra, giving reference to the insider-outsider debate, called for a level playing field for all. He said, “Maidaan dono ko same do, phir dekho kaun zyaada unchi chhalaang laga sakta hai. You can’t hinder someone’s chances — that will be unhealthy and venomous — you can’t do that or stop anybody's growth. That’s not how we function. When someone calls me saying ‘aapke liye role nahi hai, aapka koi bhai ya dost hai’, I personally call up my friends or other people. Any kind of insecurity shouldn’t be there,”

    Delhi folks are known for their love of loud music, chicken tikka te daaru and crazy party scenes which can often leave neighbours complaining. But given the current scenario in the country, the call for physical distancing has ensured that such hip parties don’t get to see the light of the day, literally. 
    But did you think any of that or the government’s rules could stop a hardcore Delhiite from not attending a bash when given the chance? Hell no. And that’s exactly what the 31 people, who were detained by the police at a West Delhi nightclub, were caught doing.

    Flouting all safety directions related to Coronavirus in the city, 31 people were recently arrested for attending a party at a nightclub with a very ominous name, Playgue. As for all the jazz that came with the party, attendees were served hookah and liquor, which is currently banned due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

    As for Playgue, it reportedly served as a restaurant by the day and a nightclub after sunset. Fate left its side on Tuesday night when people noticed a number of cars lined up outside its premises and informed the police.

    Upon their arrival, the police found that people were busy smoking and dancing on the dance floor. After looking around the club they confiscated four quarters along with seven bottles of booze.

    Reportedly, the nightclub owners were also attending the party and have been now booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Act, Excise Act, Epidemics Diseases Act, Disaster Management Act and Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act.

    At a time when Delhi is reporting more than 1,500 COVID-19 cases on a daily basis, and given the steep rise in positive cases across the country, it serves these people right to be penalised for not only risking their lives but also others they could have ended up infecting in the future.

    Even people on Twitter are amused by this incident:
    I love EVERYTHING about this story of how Delhi can't stop being Delhi even for a hot minute.
    1. A nightclub named Playgue
    2. in West Delhi
    3. masquerading as a take-away facility

    Most likely. Sad indeed. 
    The sad part is all of these people would be rich enough to afford medical treatment if the need arises

    People who have to wear a pair of spectacles and a mask really have it tough. Not only is it a little tough to adjust your eyewear, thanks to the advisory of not touching your face, again and again, the mask that we have to wear to protect ourselves from the coronavirus often causes it to get fogged up.

    As a result, we often have to stop whatever it is we’re doing, wipe our glasses, and put them back on. Not only is it irritating, but it is also a risky thing to do. We may have to adjust our mask while in the open, or worse, we may accidentally touch our masks.

    A Scottish optician who goes by the name Gordon Kyle, has shared a few hacks using which one can put an end to this problem. Here’s what he says.


    Wearing The Spectacles On Top Of The MaskFirst & foremost, wear your spectacles on top of your mask. That way, you can use your spectacles and the part that touches your nose to hold the mask down in place. What this does, is that it does not let the warm air that you exhale to move towards the lenses of your glass.

    The second tip that Gordon shared was to pad the top inside edge of your mask with a folded tissue paper. What this does, is that it creates a better seal which does not allow the air to escape. Furthermore, it also absorbs some of the moisture from your breath that leads to the condensation in the first place.

    Finally, Gordon advises people with glasses to tie-up the cords of a mask in such a way, that it creates a pocket sort of shape, in which you can place your face. The idea is for the mask to create as tight a seal as possible, without being too uncomfortable that you have to take it off just to breathe properly.
    Guys, we seriously cannot emphasise enough, but please, do not take your masks off when you’re stepping out of your homes. We hope this helps anyone who has to wear eyeglasses and masks, at the same time.

    It’s been over a month that Sushant Singh Rajput left us clueless about what really happened on the day of 14th June. While Mumbai Police has been investigating Sushant’s case, people on Twitter have been demanding a CBI probe in his case as they are not satisfied with how it’s being handled as they are many loose ends.

    Yesterday, Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty requested Home Minister Amit Shah to initiate a CBI enquiry into the matter. On Twitter, she wrote, “wrote, “Respected @amitshahofficial sir, I’m sushants Singh Rajputs girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, it is now over a month since his sudden demise. I have complete faith in the government, however, in the interest of justice, I request you with folded hands to initiate a CBI enquiry into this matter. I only want to understand what pressures prompted Sushant to take this step. Yours sincerely Rhea Chakraborty #satyamevajayate.”

    Respected @AmitShah sir ,

    Yours sincerely #satyamevajayate @AmitShah sir
    — Rhea Chakraborty (@Tweet2Rhea) July 16, 2020 Now, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has said no for the CBI probe in his case as he thinks it’s not required. Anil Deshmukh told Mid-Day, “I have the tweets and the campaign. But I don’t think that a CBI probe is required. The Mumbai Police is competent enough to handle such cases and they are investigating every aspect of the case including professional rivalry. As of now, we do not see any foul play. Details of the investigation will be shared once it is completed.”
    His decision of saying no to the CBI investigation has got him backlash on Twitter by people who have been continuously seeking answers and demanding justice. They are upset and angry with Anil Deshmukh on taking such a decision. People are actually thinking that there’s something fishy in the entire case.
    @AnilDeshmukhNCP How much did you take from Nepotism gang and criminal @BeingSalmanKhan to decide that No CBI. Who the hell you think you are to decide. As people of Maharashtra we want justice #NoCBINOVOTE #CBIIvestigationForSushant @OfficeofUT Wake up before its too late

    — Joyce Jacob (@JoyceJa00787768) July 17, 2020Through the tweets, you can very well understand the wrath and why people are upset with Anil Deshmukh’s statements. Do you think it’s fair to the people who have been asking for justice for more than a month now?

    Jeff Mermelstein, a renowned, New York-based photographer took up a special project before the global coronavirus pandemic to capture textual conversations, a practice that is strangely too familiar to us.

    With over three decades worth of experience, Mermelstein started working on the new pet project since October, 2017. The goal was to document the strange text messages that people send to each other while out on the streets. Honestly, this sounds like our neighbors who ask us questions on the regular that they have no business knowing.
    © New York Post/ Jeff Mermelstein
    Mermelstein, in an interview with New York Post, explained, "In the midst of making pictures with my iPhone for [my series] “Streetwork,” I saw a woman, ...she was typing on her phone. I went and made a picture of her screen, and after looking at my picture, I saw what was on the screen: It was a Google search about wills, and it had something to do with $6,000 in the attic. It was fascinating, and that kind of opened up a door of awareness.
    © New York Post/ Jeff Mermelstein
    That was just the beginning for Mermelstein, he would often be successful in taking shots of phone screens on the streets of New York. However, amid the pandemic, his work has slightly shifted focus. Mermelstein says that "more often than not," people wouldn't even notice the fact that their screens were being captured. This also reminds us of prying relatives who always want to stay updated with the ongoings of our lives. 
    However, for aspiring photographers who wish to engage in 'prying photography, Mermelstein suggests that one needs to be quick in taking the shot. However, Mermelstein made sure that all the names were left anonymous in the final shots that were made available later.

    Mermelstein attempted to capture the element of "surprise and the absurd" in these textual conversations. 
    © New York Post/ Jeff Mermelstein
    While these texts are definitely insightful, we can't dismiss the fact that they hit too close to home. Occasions like family gatherings, board exam result day, or even casually running into neighbors are filled with prying, absurd questions that are just too similar to these texts.
